Notes About The Poem

Image result for White Rat Terrier Chihuahua Mix

Stinky Dog

in the sweet park abandoned by women and men thinking over and over that She shouldn't roll In poop, onion and dead small birds ever again my Ratcha got a nice soapy bath, that washed some of the stink, dirt away~massaged her back and legs now she wants play she seems so much happier now she plays with toys was she ashamed that she did stink or did the bath make her anxious and now she needs to expend the tense feeling upon toys

A nice bath can rejuvenate both men and beasts. Hope it is your dog.

Valsa, I have a Ratcha, which we adopted back in 2021 because my two Chihuahuas died. We had a rat terrier once then we had the Chihuahuas, so I figured that a mixture of the two species would work out well. She is different yet I see some traits of both breeds in her. She can get in some stinky stuff. She is not easy to give a bath because she really doesn't like a bath, so they don't happen quite as often as needed. Sara K

Dear Sara, I had to smile at the way you captured that whole messy Ratcha adventure. The shift into playfulness afterward felt so true to life, like watching a pup shake off the tension and just enjoy being clean again. Holiday Blessings, Dear Sara, Daniel
